Impact analysis
Stop signs, rumble features, and signage would cost county or state funds, though speakers called the fixes cheap.
Ridge Road residents, school children at bus stops, and drivers at the blind Bowman Lane intersection.
Potentially commuters who use Ridge Road as a faster route, if enforcement slows them.
